Hello! For almost two decades, I have been counseling clients, and I find it a great honor to walk alongside people, partnering with them in the hard. I grew up with a schizophrenic father. I felt intense fear, shame, and loneliness throughout my formative years. I did a phenomenal job at numbing pain and people pleasing, while my pain festered. Learning how to see and feel my pain has been transformative. I am grateful for the story I have and believe the restored is always better than the original.
We cannot talk ourselves into feeling better. When we see and feel our pain with curiosity and compassion, healing happens. Understanding our nervous system, connecting with stored emotions, and learning from our memories is the heart of counseling. The goal is heart & mind coherence. When this happens, the brain syncs, stress diminishes, intuition sharpens, trauma can be processed, and emotional resilience rises.
My greatest strength is my ability to engage with people. I hope every client feels seen and understood and leaves our session feeling a combination of relief and clarity.
I am best positioned to serve adult clients dealing with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief issues and destructive habits.

I wasn't sure what to expect with a first session. Deborah was able to quickly pull my thoughts and feelings out. She alluded to her relationship with Jesus quickly and I very much appreciated that. Thank you, Deborah, for sharing that part of yourself.

This is the first time I'm working with a therapist that has helped me navigate the root causes of some of the unhealthy behaviors and habits I have. I am very grateful to have Deborah walk along side me and help me understand me.
